We often need the entire error message to help much, not just
that part of it.

Here are Cox's instructions for Outlook Express. They should also
work under Windows Mail.

What is the complete error message?

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.
